BUY THE WINE

Jamie Goode | Concentrated and sweetly fruited, with lush blackberry and black-cherry fruit. Nice density here, and there’s a compactness to the fruit that suggests it could still develop nicely. Some warm herbs and spices on the finish. | 91

Peter Richards | Subdued, short, and ungiving style. We try two bottles. They’re not identical but both are limited in scope and pinched in aromatics. Ultimately, the wine is dull. | 74

David Williams | Rather mute aromatically, this is quite tightly coiled on the palate, but there’s density and power there, waiting to spring out, and fine structure, too, with plentiful but ripe tannin and a line of natural acidity. There’s some minerality here, too. Need to see it again in a few years’ time, but this shows a great deal of promise. | 93
